Hunter Green is a beautifully balanced color, featuring both red and blue in nearly equal parts. In your home, this color would be nicely complemented by other balanced shades.
It is important to avoid putting any colors that are too cool near this shade of green, as it already has a touch of soot or smoke to the color and could go muddy if paired with gem tones, such as a royal blue or cherry red.

1) Orange Ice 166 Benjamin Moore
Orange and green work well together. If you choose the right shade and intensity of orange, the combination doesn’t have to remind you of Halloween.
Orange Ice is an ideal shade for this purpose; it has a very low concentration of blue and will gently glow in the company of Hunter Green.
Many people who use Hunter Green like it in rich fabrics, such as suede or velour. With Orange Ice to set it off, your upholstery will appear quite sumptuous.

2) Opal Essence 680 Benjamin Moore
Opal is the only green in this listing. Shades of green, like shades of blue, can tend to battle one another rather than playing nicely.
However, this lovely pale shade of gray-green would be an ideal addition to a room that features Hunter Green. You could even use opal fabric as a window treatment to set off a rug or large piece of furniture done in Hunter Green.
If you’re in an apartment and have beige or white walls, these two colors could add a lot of personality to the space.

3) Ancestral Gold 6407 Sherwin Williams
Ancestral gold is a lovely option if you have a lot of Hunter Green in a small space. For example, if your Hunter Green sectional takes up the whole living room, ancestral gold on the walls could lighten the space.
This is also a wonderful shade to pair right next to Hunter Green, such as in a striped fabric or as a throw over a sofa.

4) Apricot
Apricot is a beautiful shade that will stand up and stand out against Hunter Green, as a flower will stand out against the green leaves in a flower bed. Use this shade to add a visual break from a lot of green.
If you have a Hunter Green accent wall and a tan or beige sofa, add apricot pillows to brighten the room. Too much Hunter Green can swamp a space. Apricot can combat this.

5) Natural Linen 966 Benjamin Moore
Natural Linen is a lush, warm shade that would be an ideal trim choice near Hunter Green. If you’re considering doing a whole room or a few walls in Hunter Green, consider using natural linen paint on a chair rail, a picture rail, or even wainscot paneling.
It would also be a great choice if you’re thinking of painting your upper kitchen cabinets a different color from the lower or island cabinets.

6) Rosy Tan (2091-50) – Brown – Benjamin Moore
Fans of old-fashioned furniture, especially wood finishes, will love Rosy Brown. It would be an ideal choice for a den, a library, or a study space.
This is a very comfortable color and will bring out the richness of Hunter Green, whether it’s on the walls, floors, or furniture. Be aware that this is a fairly saturated color.
It may be a bit dark in a room that needs to energize you, such as an office or a studio.

Do Light Bulbs Affect How Paint Colors Look?
Absolutely. Just like natural light, artificial lighting changes how paint appears. The color temperature of your light bulbs—measured in Kelvins (K)—plays a big role.
- Lower K (2700K–3000K) = warm, yellow light (soft white)
- Higher K (4000K–5000K+) = cool, white to bluish light (bright/daylight)
Choosing the right bulb can make a big difference in how your paint color looks on the wall.
I recommend using these types of light bulbs.
8) Ice Blue 2052-70 Benjamin Moore
Pairing green and blue is almost as hard as pairing green and green. Blue skies and green grass look terrific together, but Hunter Green is not as bright as grass and would appear quite muddy against a shade of sky blue.
That being said, Ice Blue is quite balanced and has a lot of green in it. If you plan to paint a space with Hunter Green carpet or a large set of furniture in the same shade, create a couple of samples, let them dry, and set them right against the green to make sure you like the effect.
